datadiffusion Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Did a takeover years ago that had Racal detectors all wired in 16 core, extra 4 colours were stripey on white, and it wasn't phone cable.

DavePhelps Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 I went to a job yesterday service by a company with three letters. They have a G2-44 and a Fox PIR!! Now who is going to admit being old enough to remember the Fox ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 If it works? Plenty of Racal's, pad's and foil knocking about on maintenance here. Talking of blast from the past check out this playlist... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmo66 Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 ahh, bit of wood in the way there. I have rounded off my fair share of terminal screwdrivers while cutting a little channel into the ceiling, slotting the cable in and filling in...

datadiffusion Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Was in an 80s new build finishing off today, started Tuesday and there was the remains of an old 2 zone type key system but nothing worth reusing cable wise, redone from scratch. Lol at them bashing multiple holes with a hammer for mains from roof until they worked out where the joist was. Tiny ceiling so not visible without ladder and shelving removed.

A now blunt 4.5mm HSS bit makes a tidy job of that if I need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secureiam Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 I think its mad when just one core is used for a zone and all the cores are accounted for with power and all the zones using 1 core. its nice and tidy at the panel end very few cables don't get me wrong but it isn't good when things start going wrong with the system.
